Description

SiC-based trench gate MOSFET structure with vertical field plate protection
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a SiC-based trench gate MOSFET device structure with vertical field plate protection.
Background
The development trend of the current electronic equipment is high efficiency, energy saving and miniaturization, which requires a power semiconductor switch device as a core of electric energy conversion and processing, and has higher blocking capability, lower conduction loss, faster switching speed and better thermal stability. Through decades of development, the device characteristics of silicon-based power semiconductor devices approach the material limit, which greatly limits the promotion space for further optimization of electronic equipment. The third generation semiconductor material represented by silicon carbide has the advantages of wide forbidden band width (more than 3.0 eV), large critical breakdown electric field, high stable working temperature and the like, so that the third generation semiconductor material has great development potential in extreme application fields of high temperature, high frequency, high power, radiation resistance and the like. The SiC power MOSFET has many advantages of high input impedance, fast switching speed, high operating frequency, high voltage resistance, etc., has been widely applied to the aspects of switching regulated power supply, high frequency and power amplifier, etc., is a green pioneer to promote the "new energy revolution", and is more promising in high-power application occasions of high-speed railways, hybrid electric vehicles, intelligent high-voltage direct-current transmission, etc.
Compared with a planar gate MOSFET, the trench gate MOSFET has no parasitic JFET (junction field effect transistor) region, and high-density cells are very easy to integrate along with the progress of the process technology, so that the trench gate MOSFET has lower on-state resistance and is a mainstream structure for development of medium-low voltage high-power MOS field effect transistors. However, compared with a silicon-based device, the SiC device has a higher critical breakdown electric field, which results in a blocking state of the trench gate MOSFET, and the electric field in the oxide layer at the corner of the trench bottom is very high, close to the critical breakdown electric field of silicon dioxide, which has a great influence on the gate reliability.
In 1998, J.Tan et al reported an enhanced 4H-SiC UMOSFET structure that uses a P buried layer to reduce the bottom gate oxide electric field and a CSL layer to reduce the JFET region resistance; in 2012, Rohm company reported 4H-SiC double-trench MOSFET, the structure firstly proposed the design concept of double trenches, and a special metal trench was used to inject a P buried layer to shield the electric field lines pointing to the gate trench oxide layer, so as to improve the reliability of the device, but the depth of the double trenches is the same; in 2017, Infineon reported a 4H-SiC asymmetric groove gate MOSFET, the structure adopts a single-channel asymmetric design concept, and the 4H-SiC asymmetric groove gate MOSFET is effectively utilized

Due to the characteristic of high channel mobility, the channel resistance is reduced. Deep P formed by high energy ion implantation+The gate oxide layer can be well protected, meanwhile, the saturation current can be effectively lowered, and the short circuit capability of the device is improved.
